PAMPHLET issued by one of the big insurance companies
tells us how to act in emergencies: how to revive a drown
ing person; how to bandage a burn; what to do for snake bite.
On this last subject there is an introductory sentence which is
set in big type for emphasis. It reads:
DON'T STOP TO KILL THE SNAKE.
The idea contained in that crisp utterance has far-flung appli
cations. Whether any specific deed should or should not be done
depends not merely upon its character but equally upon the cir
cumstances and the time.
Years ago I interviewed Dr. John R. Mott, a great leader, and
I asked him his rules for selecting executives.
"I watch a candidate for a long time before I decide," he
answered. "I want to satisfy myself on two points: Does he do
small things well? Does he do FIRST things FIRST?"
As he spoke I remembered a well intentioned, hard working
man who was under my observation at one time. He had a most
amazing capacity for doing his work in the wrong order.
He was to meet his bpss one day at the Grand Central Station
with tickets for Detroit. The boss arrived five minutes before
train time an.!, telephoning to the office, foimd the man still at
his desk. His excuse was that he was engaged on a plan which
he thought midit possibly double the business and he had become
so engrossed in it that he had forgotten his watch.
The plan might have been all right, though it turned out not
to be, but in dealing with it at the wrong time he caused the
boss to miss a train and lose an order.
He was forever writing memoranda on matters outside his
department, while neglecting the routine duties for Which he was
paid. He was usually late to the office because he had gone out
of his way to make a call which he believed might be of benefit
to the company.
All of his activities were inspired by a genuine desire to in
crease the business and so raise his own earning power. But ho
was a nuisance, and was finally fired. I
The human race possesses all the information ntcessary for
the successful conduct of its affairs. Many of its troubles irise
because men fail to make a schedule and arrange their tasks in
the order of relative importance.
The parade is hold up by perfectly good people stopping to do
perfectly ] roper things at cxactly the improper time?letting the
inpatient perish while they earnestly kill the snake. '

THE FAMILY

JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.O.
BLOOD IMBALANCE
Nothing should be appreciated more than perfect circula
tion of the blood in the body; and, very many times we,
physicians, meet with variations from normal, which may be
called "imbalance," or engorgements here and there, which
may vary from congestions to actual dilatations of the ves
sels?organic disease.
People with big abdomens are sufferers in varying degree,
from blood imbalance. There are many great veins that
traverse the abdominal wall and visceral content there situ
ated. Anything that may cause "rush of blood" to these
blood-vessels, produces immediate and very evident effect on
Structures elsewhere. A big meal is an example?overeating;
intense determination of blood to the stomach and bowel,
depleting the brain for the time being, causing dizziness,
cloudy vision, staggering gait, stupor, with heavy feeling
throughout the already overfleshed abdomen. The symptoms
may amount to a temporary helplessness, a not very enjoy
able feeling in elderly persons.
I believe without accurate figures, that one-fourth of the
blood volume may flow in a great tidal-wave to a ponderous
abdomen, from overexertion, overeating, etc.; and, that this
condition reacts heavily upon the heart and brain; of course
the veins of such an abdomen become much dilated from the
constant sagging, making possible, if I may use the term,
"abdominal apoplexy." And here it is that the "tubby" ab
domen is a very troublesome luxury.
Methods of correction are slow, discouraging, and are sel
dom persisted in to get the relief possible. Carefully prac
ticed exercises are productive of results. Of course free daily
evacuation of the bowel MUST be maintained. Here it is
starches in the diet must be cut down to a minimum. Indeed,
the diet must be just what is needed and no more. In chronic
cases patients short of breath and who puff with slight muscu
lar exertion, may wear a well-fitted bandage to support the
sagging, indolent organism.
International Sunday School Lesson

CHRISTIANITY SPREADING
BY PERSECUTION
Acts 7:59-3:4; 11:19-21
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D.
Progress usually comes in connec
tion with very hard experiences. It
has been so in the extension of the
blessings of Christianity. The stand
patters in the old Jerusalem church
certainly made it hard fot those who
were trying to follow Christ's teach
ings. Persecution was resorted to in
order'to stay the progress of these
humanitarian teachings which claimed
the crucified and risen Lord as their
Teacher. Special hatred centered-upon
one of the seven deacons, by the name
of Stephen.
Again the Sanhedrin was sum
moned and Stephen was tried. When
called upon to make his defense the
opportunity was used to present a for
mal statement that reviewed the lead
ing facts in the ministry of Jesus
Christ and how He had been treated
by this same Council. In bold language
Stephen charged the Sanhedrin with
the killing of Jesus. Soon sentence of
death was given against ,him, also in
the hope that the Cause could be
stopped by destroying its able pro
ponents.
Death was accomplished by stoning.
During the slaying Stephen, like his
Lord, prayed his executioners might
be forgiven. A profound impression
was made by all these acts on a young
man named Saul, who as a member
of the Sanhedrin had helped in the
sentence and further assisted as care
taker of the garments that were laid
at his feet by those who did the kill
ing.
Such persecution forccd many
Christians to leave Jerusalem, and
thus the leaven of Christianity was
extended over a large area and "a
great number turned to the Lord."
